BRAND HOOLIGANS speaker profile: Andrew Smith and Shane Dryden

Posted on 27. Jul, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry in Streetflava

The far reaches of Internet retail in South Africa are dangerous places. The landscape is littered with the carcasses of failed ventures and once 'amazing ideas' born in the fires of after-rugby braais fueled with Klippies and Coke.

But leading the way, armed to the teeth with razor-sharp weapons and nerves of steel, is the dynamic duo of Andrew Smith and Shane Dryden from the legendary online kitchen tool outfit Yuppiechef.
Although at first glance they may look like kind, friendly chaps – at night they stalk the stark, windswept halls of Internet cafes in the bowels South Africa's biggest cities, into which even the police fear to tread, for touts, fraudsters and Retail 2.0 heathens that dare chance their luck with stolen credit cards.

Three years on, thousands of sales later and enough online retail experience to give Jeff Bizos a run for his money, the guys join us to share their secrets to online profitability and what's going to be hot after 2010.
